Plasma-derived clotting factors
Plasma-derived clotting factors are proteins sourced from human blood plasma that help control bleeding by facilitating the clotting process. In conditions like hemophilia, where individuals lack certain clotting factors, these proteins can be extracted from donated blood and purified for medical use. They are essential for patients undergoing surgery, experiencing trauma, or managing chronic bleeding disorders, ensuring that their blood can clot properly. Plasma-derived clotting factors improve quality of life and reduce the risk of excessive bleeding in affected individuals.
